Info

I'm doing the Full SAS 4" front lift with a Toyota axle and the 5" lift on the rear from trail gear, rockers from trail gear, Full stainless exhaust from Downey, a spool in the rear,and probably a Aussie locker in the front, eventually a dual transfer case as well and who knows where this will end, probably it will get full link suspension within a few years but can only do so much at a time CASH sensitive,lol....not sure what tires i'm going with yet , probably at least 36x12.5x16 but i'll need them in time for Spring :):stir:

Before you weld those bitches on make a copy of them for my truck!!!

I have them on mine also. Was gonna make my own but there was only about $20 difference between them an just buyingthe material.....I wasnt gonna cut, bend & weld then up for that little difference.
just FYI :D

Well I got the tranny out tonight and hopefully get most of the frame cleaned up and start working on my fuel and brake issues, it sucks going from a semi high tech truck with abs and a diesel to a very low tech truck with a gas engine, rolls of wire and brake tubing oh joy oh glee.:banghead:

LOL, by the sounds of it you have been spending a bit too much time in the diesel funk that your truck spews, hope you had some success in that dept today.:finger:

Could you guys give me a inside frame measurement @ the motor mounts so I can compare to my '85 frame?

Thanks.
